DOE's Safety And Health Oversight

Program At Nuclear Facilities

Could Be Strengthened


The Department of Energy has made im-
provements in its safety and health program
since GAO's 1981 report on this subject.
However, these improvements have been
made on an individual basis and the major
cause of the problems has not been ad-
dressed. Ensuring that safety, health, and
environmental standards are met rests with
contractors who operate DOE's nuclear facil-
ities. The contractors are also responsible
for meeting production or program objec-
tives. Thus, safety and health concerns are
pitted against program goals.

GAO continues to believe, as stated in its
1981 report,.that a major reorganization
could provide DOE's safety and health or-
ganization with the authority and indepen-
dence necessary for an effective safety and
health program at DOE's nuclear facilities.
